These are the kind of homes Cameron, Osborne, etc etc live in, while taking corporate back-handers and payoffs, fiddling their expenses, and demonising rioters for stealing a pair of addidas trainers!!!! - oh and not building social housing for eons either!!!!!! But then, 'we are all in this together' aye???????!!!!!!!

Everyone's missing one thing here !
The people who own these houses have probably worked damn hard to be able to afford these properties, why begrudge them if they've made a successful living out of what ever they do.
I know if it was me taking a dip in that infinity-pool knowing i'd worked my **** off to own it i wouldn't really give a monkeys what anyone thought.

What a crock of crap you spout Anna and Mushroom!! I was born one of 4 boys to an abandoned mother in the 60s, lived in a crumbling 2 bed terrace house and the 'loo' was 50m up the garden! no bathroom and if you wanted hot water, you boiled it in a kettle!! Family, Teachers, the Church and assorted sundry 'socially minded' hypocrites reminded us every day about what we didnt have and how we should be grateful for handouts. Coming from nothing gave all four of us an unquenchable desire to succeed at 'something' At 54 I am now retired, I have a homes in France and Austria. One brother is a high ranking military officer, one is a partner in a law firm operating out of New York and finally the youngest of my brothers is an architect building prestigious buildings around the world. We all have beautiful and expensive homes that WE earned through hard work and dedication. We are entitlerd to them. PS, and just in case you were wondering our wonderful mother, now lives with me.

Some of the comments here look like envy here to me which is well ugly. Fact is, in the UK less than half the people work. Who would you rather see living in places like these? People who got off their **** and did something or the free-loading wasters who think everyone who gets up in the morning should pay their taxes so they can live on benefits?

i actually find it quite interesting looking at these. its got nothing to do with cameron or whatever how do you know these people havent worked hard and earnt their own money to buy or build these houses?i hate cameron hes a liar and has absolutely no idea what it is like for working class people as he was born into money. i say this coming from a working class background myself. i study interior architecture at uni atm and ive not got there by being rich and i dont presume im just going to get jobs handed to me when i start my career either, life is what you make it. if you want something enough and work hard enough for it then anything is possible, not all rich people were born rich so you cant just presume that. health etc is more important by far but i dont really know anyone who doesnt think money doesnt help slightly. the pictures probably werent put on to irritate working class people. i find them helpful anyway.

Those homes are stunning! But of all of them I prefer the Westgate Park home. It's a shame people can't just appreciate amazing homes like these instead of **** left right and center about politicians and rich people. I'm reigning in my jealousy lol but instead of being bitter i'm just wistful. Wish I had £3m for a house ^.^

I totally agree with you Chris, one of the most important things in life to remember is to treat people how you would like to be treated. I once had the dream and lost it in the recession It was not on the scale of the above pictures. Yes people do judge you for what you have and most don't realise how hard you had to work to get it. I would love to live in a house like that. Who wouldn't. Can I afford it, NO!!
